Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, has extended his sympathy to President Bola Tinubu following his slip at the Eagles Square during the 2024 Democracy Day celebration.
Earlier reports had indicated that Tinubu slipped while boarding the parade vehicle at the Eagles Square. However, he quickly regained his balance and proceeded with the event without further incident.
Expressing his empathy, Atiku Abubakar took to social media platform X to convey his well-wishes to Tinubu. He wrote, “I sincerely sympathize with President Bola Tinubu, @officialABAT, over this unfortunate incident as he was set to review the parade on Democracy Day. I do hope that all is well with him. -AA.”
In response to the incident, the presidency also confirmed Tinubu’s slip during the event. The Special Assistant to the President on Social Media, Dada Olusegun, clarified that it was a minor incident, with Tinubu simply missing his step while climbing the parade vehicle. Olusegun assured that there were no further issues as Tinubu promptly continued with the ceremony.
